Closer Look at Business Education
This month's edition of the Aspen Institute's Closer Look at Business Education focuses on the topic of immigration. I invite you to read the white paper at: http://www.beyondgreypinstripes.org/pdf/ImmigrationMASS.pdf.
While our Beyond Grey Pinstripes database indicates that many MBA courses emphasize diversity and cross-cultural management, it seems that immigration remains a topic largely outside the mainstream in business school education today. If you've missed a previous Closer Look, such as last month's edition on Agriculture, you can find them all at: http://www.beyondgreypinstripes.org/rankings/closer_looks.cfm.

Dissertation Proposal Award
The Business and Society Program of the Aspen Institute (Aspen BSP) is pleased to announce its inaugural sponsorship of an award for promising dissertation research. The purpose of this award is to identify innovative research in core business disciplines that considers the interdependence between business decision-making and a wider societal or environmental context. The recipient(s) will receive a stipend in the amount of $1500 and no budgetary restrictions are placed on the use of these funds. Applications must be received on or before Friday, May 25th, 2007. Please share this information with PhD/DBA students you know! Visit http://www.beyondgreypinstripes.org/faculty_pioneers/DissertationResearchAward2007.cfm for more information.
